The following is just one of the songs of this name!!
Two more that come to mind are :
the one popularised by Maria Muldaur ("Well, Death come a-knockin ...") and,
a top little number done by the Chambers Brothers (where the water keeps a-rising, higher and higher up his body) ...
Meanwhile, here is one from BILL WOOD.
TRAVELLIN' SHOES
1. Well, I had a fickle sweetheart, but I didn't mourn and cry
I just grabbed me an armful of freight train
And I told that gal (man) goodbye.
And I put on my Travellin' Shoes
Put on my Travellin' Shoes
Well, I don't know where I'm goin' - but I gotta go
Got on my Travellin' Shoes.
I've gotta lose them blues, yeah
I gotta lose them blues
Well, I don't know where or how - but I gotta go
Got on my Travellin' Shoes.
2. Well now, I've been from Maine to Texas, and I've roamed from sea to sea
And there isn't a gal (man) in this whole wide world
That could make a fool outa me.
When I've got on me Travellin' Shoes
Got on my Travellin' Shoes
Well, I don't know where I'm goin' - but I gotta go
Got on my Travellin' Shoes.
I've gotta lose them blues, yeah I gotta lose them blues
Well, I don't know where or how - but I gotta go
Got on my Travellin' Shoes.
3. Now if you should see me comin', please don't run away and hide
Coz all I need is a pretty little gal (...), to travel by my side.
When I've got on me Travellin' Shoes
Got on my Travellin' Shoes
Well, I don't know where I'm goin' - but I gotta go
Got on my Travellin' Shoes.
I'm gonna lose them blues, yeah
I'm gonna lose them blues
Well, I don't know where or how - but I gotta go
Got on my Travellin' Shoes.
Cheers! RJB
